time stamps, of selected files and folders.</p>

<h3><a name="date_manual"></a>Change date manually</h3>
<p>You may select each of the three fields (month/day/year, shown here), then 
type a new value.&nbsp; For example, selecting the day field and typing 23 
changes the day to the 23rd of the month shown.</p>
